Hector Ventura, LCSW

Psychotherapist & Coaching Professional

Hi, I'm Hector, psychotherapist & certified life coach based in Texas! I provide psychotherapy virtually throughout the states of Florida, Texas, Virginia, Utah, Connecticut and New Jersey. I specialize in working with males who struggle with grief, trauma, & imposter syndrome. As the son of Salvadorean immigrant parents, I’ve seen how cultural stigma keeps men from seeking help. Its why some people act like everything is ok, play tough & suffer in silence.

Research shows that men are more likely to commit suicide, & less likely to get professional help compared to women. As a male therapist whose also been in therapy, I know what it's like to bottle things up inside. Thats why I strive to be open-minded & down to earth when talking to clients. Moreover, I've been trained in a variety of evidenced-based approaches that can be used for diverse conditions. Even so, I specialize in using a Solution-Focused approach, this allows us identify your desired outcome.

From there we're going to explore the pathways to achieve that outcome. You can't change your past, but you can make a choice about the steps you take today. There’s a quote that says, ”I am not what has happened to me, I am who I choose to become”. What changes are you hoping to achieve?
